After coming back from Adepticon I was all pumped up to get some hobby projects done. The first thing I did was picked up all my new models from my local store for Test of Honour. I am a fan of Warlord games and this game has me excited to paint up some Samurai.

I went on a building rampage to get a small force put together so we could so we could start pushing it around on the table. My first game was fun and the rules remind me a lot of AoS, simple and straight forward encouraging players to create house rules. The demos I played at Adepticon and the videos don't really showcase this game. The ability and injury cards add so much more to the game. The cards create a campaign element because they stay with your samurai. Once we get a few more players and some models painted we will start a map campaign like Risk taking over territories throughout Japan.

While I was at Adepticon I picked up a 4ground building just for this game. I really like the 4ground product and this was a simple kit to assemble. Just like most 4ground kits the instructions are not always that clear and some mistakes happened. I was able to fix most of my mistakes and the few that I didn't will not be noticed once on the table. I will be picking up a few more so I can put together a nice table to play the game.

I also finished a my unit of Ursus Infantry for K47. I am still working on this army just not getting it on the table as much these days. Warlord has slowed down with new releases for this game and I hope once Test for Honour has been out for a few months they will get some more releases out for K47.

My rules for Aerodrome 2.0 showed up last week and I am excited to get this game on the table. I decided to use 1/72 scale aircraft so that the game will stand out on the table. I already started assembling a Corsair I had from another project and will be using my airbrush to get it painted. This will be a long term project painting up all the planes that I need.

Also this weekend GW is releasing Shadow War: Armageddon which will be another distraction for me. The good thing about this release is I don't need to paint anything to play it. I already have enough Ork models painted so it will just be learning the rules. I do know that I will be building and painting the terrain for the local store because it is just great looking terrain.
